10. Creating Your Own Custom AngularJS Services

AngularJS provides a lot of functionality in built-in services; however, you will also need to be able to implement your own custom services that provide your own specific functionality. You should implement a custom service anytime you need to provide task-based functionality to your applications.

When implementing custom services, you need to think about the service as a chunk of reusable code that performs one or more related tasks. Then you can design and group them together into custom modules that can easily be consumed by several different AngularJS applications.

This chapter introduces the AngularJS custom services. Then the chapter provides several examples of custom AngularJS service implementation to provide you with a clearer understanding of how to design and build your own.
